The U.S. is supposed to be back in business and opening up for a return to life pre-COVID-19. But instead, public health officials are becoming increasingly concerned by a troubling series of recent developments, including an alarming drop in vaccinations among people of color and a sharp spike of the more infectious and deadly “delta” variant of the coronavirus.
April Ryan, White House Correspondent for The Grio, reported that the “COVID-19 vaccination data collection on Black and brown communities is still showing stark contrasts between racial groups” with Black Americans significantly “behind the curve when it comes to getting vaccinated.”
Ryan spoke with the nation’s leading infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, who described the disparity between Black and White Americans who have received the vaccine as a tale of “two Americas.”
